Karl Hauptmann
«The Feldberg Painter»
24th April 1880 – 7th April 1947
Karl Hauptmann was born on 25th of April in 1880 in Freiburg i.Br., Germany. He received his artistic training in Nürnberg and Munich and was thereafter engaged as a decorative painter.
In 1908 he produced the first of what were to be his typical Black Forest paintings. In the years between 1915 and 1919, he produced numerous images of the Alpine region he had visited during his deployment with the mountain infantry in the First World War.
In 1918 Karl Hauptmann purchased «Molerhüsli», which for him encompassed his dwelling, atelier, and exhibition space. It soon became a favourite meeting place for skiers, hikers, students, and visitors to Feldberg.
Due to Hauptmann’s ever-present health problems, his doctor prescribed a trip to Italy in 1940, to which he again travelled the following year.
On 7th of April in 1947, Karl Hauptmann died at the age of 67 at his «Molerhüsli».

Gossaert, Jan called Mabuse after
1478 Maubeuge - 1532 Antwerp.
The Mocking of Christ.
Oil on copper. Unsigned. Paint loss, retouchings.
H 57,
The present painting is a painterly, extremely successful variation on the mockery of Christ by Jan Gossaert, called Mabuse, which is in the Szépmüvészeti Múzeum in Budapest with the inventory number 4326. It is part of the collection that Count János Pálffy (1829 - 1908) bequeathed to the museum after his death. The posture of Christ, the drapery of the cloth, as well as all architectural elements are based on the Budapest model. The most striking difference is the abandonment of the depiction of the people mocking Christ, which puts the focus on the body of the suffering Christ. In Gossaert's painting, the people are behind the blocks of stone on which Christ is sitting and in front of the wall in the background.

Das vorliegende Gemälde ist eine malerisch äußerst gelungene Variation nach der 1527 entstandenen Verspottung Christi von Jan Gossaert, gen. Mabuse, die sich im Szépmüvészeti Múzeum in Budapest mit der Inventarnr. 4326 befindet. Es ist Teil der Sammlung, die Graf János Pálffy (1829 - 1908) dem Museum nach seinem Tod vermachte. Die Haltung Christi, die Drapierung des Tuchs, sowie sämtliche Architekturelemente sind an das Budapester Vorbild angelehnt. Der frappierendste Unterschied ist der Verzicht auf die Darstellung des Volkes, das Jesus verspottet, und somit eine Zentrierung auf den Körper des leidenden Jesus. In Gossaerts Gemälde befindet sich das Volk hinter den Steinblöcken, auf denen Jesus sitzt, mit der Mauer im Hintergrund.
Wir danken Frau Júlia Tátrai, Leiterin der Abteilung für Alte Meister des Szépmüvészeti Múzeum, Budapest, für die freundlichen Hinweise via
